I am using install anywhere variable $JAVA_HOME$ to set JAVA_HOME through installer and it is pointing to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7" instead of pointing C:\Program Files\Java\jdk. we are unable to find the tomcat version because of this reason.could anybody help me how to set JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk.
The JAVA_HOME variable will be pointing to the directory from where java was picked by the installer to launch. Since your installer is picking jre, the JAVA_HOME variable is having the jre home instead of jdk home.
If you want the JAV_HOME to be pointing to a jdk, then you can do one of the following- 1. Make sure there is only pure jdk installed on the system, so that this will be picked by the installer 2. Provide a LAX_VM argument to the installer, pointing to the jdk 3. Create a With VM installer using a JDK vm pack
In all of these cases, the JAVA_HOME will be pointing to a jdk. Let me know if that helped.

Hi Ramya,
Thank you for reply,where i can find the LAX_VM argument in installer
As I mentioned earlier, you can use a vm pack created using jdk and build a with vm installer.
Alternatively, you can try the JVM Search Settings for every build target under Build Installers > Build configuration > Expand Build atrget node > JVM Search Settings. Configure a spec file such that the installer can pick only JDK to launch. Add this spec file to the corresponding build target. This way you can make sure the picked java is of jdk only. Please check the online help for JVM Spec Search.
I have tried to modify the jvmspec file from the following location \resource\jvms but i am getting error as access denined. can you tell me how to modify the jvmspec file
Hi, I think you dont have administrator privilege to do modification in that location, due to which you are getting access denied message. Try opening the file as Admin will solve the problem.
